TLDR
The risk assessment performed indicated that fish and shellfish products were safe for the average consumer, although a potential risk cannot be dismissed for regular or excessive consumers of particular fish species, such as tuna, swordfish, blue shark and cat shark and common sole.About:

Trophic transfer, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification of non-essential hazardous heavy metals and metalloids in food chains/webs—Concepts and implications for wildlife and human health
Hazrat Ali,Ezzat Khan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, heavy metals are transferred from the abiotic environment to living organisms, accumulated in biota at different trophic levels, and thus contaminate the food chains/webs.

Bioaccumulation of non-essential hazardous heavy metals and metalloids in freshwater fish. Risk to human health
Hazrat Ali,Ezzat Khan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present possible routes for uptake of heavy metals and metalloids in fish, and present various indices used to assess risk to human health, such as metal pollution index, health risk index, target hazard quotient and hazard index.

Assessment of exposure to heavy metals and health risks among residents near Tonglushan mine in Hubei, China.
TL;DR: Investigation of the levels of Cd, Cu, Pb and As in soil, crop, well water and fish samples collected from the vicinity of the Tonglushan mine in Hubei, China, and evaluated potential health risks among local residents found that soils near the mine were heavily contaminated.

TL;DR: Metal mixtures showed higher toxicities compared to individual metals, as exposure to low dose Pb+Hg+Cd reduced brain weight and induced structural lesions, such as neuronal degeneration in 30-days, underlines the importance of elucidating the toxicity of low dose metal mixtures so as to protect public health.

TL;DR: Throughout Europe, substantial geographic variation exists in total fish intake, fish sub-groups and the number of types consumed, and the greatest variability in consumption by day of the week was found in the countries with the lowest fish intake.
